#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent #retelling I really enjoyed this Emma retelling. Emma was flawed but really likeable and I commiserated with her more often than not. The writing was very well done and I really fell for the romance between Knightley and Emma. It was believable and sweet. I will definitely pick up Darcy‘s book when it comes out.

Librarybelle Thanks for leading us through this! 13h
mcctrish I did like this a lot, I thought it was a well done modernized Emma. I thought the love parts could have been more original and less formulaic ( and I know this is more a me thing than everybody) 13h

LiseWorks Yes I'm curious about Darcy too, 13h
willaful @mcctrish An us thing. 😁

I do think the modernization was well done. Present day Mr. Wodehouse was very believable. 😂

mcctrish @willaful Mr Wodehouse was great! 11h
rubyslippersreads I really liked this, and agree with @willaful and #mcctrish that Mr. Wodehouse was great. I‘m looking forward to finding out what happens to William Darcy. 10h
julieclair I thoroughly enjoyed this read and our discussion. Thanks for doing such a great job as our leader! 9h
CatLass007 @Librarybelle @mcctrish @LiseWorks @willaful @rubyslippersreads @julieclair For those of you who have expressed interest in William Darcy‘s story, Elizabeth of East Hampton is scheduled for release on August 6th of this year. The description sounds very funny. (edited) 8h

Overall, I enjoyed this retelling of Emma. The ending to me seemed to be a very different tone from the rest of the book, which disappointed me a bit, but this is still a pick. I loved seeing Emma‘s passion for art shine throughout the novel and her convictions to stand on her own in certain situations - lots of growth. It was cute and light…great choice for #PemberLittens ! #JaneAdjacent

StayCurious Thank you so much for reading along! 20h

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Ch. 34-35: yay Emma! You finally stood up to Margo and gently told her to butt out. Good for you! And I‘m so glad that the “strings” conversation was had with Knightley. Finally, progress. Happy vibes ❤️💜

CatLass007 Very happy vibes! 1d
mcctrish I got the feeling Daddy knew all along and was happy Emma finally figured it out 1d

mcctrish Why does FD start off the court chapter with “so much is happening, I won‘t bore you with the details” and then chapter XII.6 have some random character, near death, recount the ENTIRE trajectory of Fyodor‘s life and interactions with his sons and Mitya‘s spending habits and thus bore us WITH WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW! This chapter tells us the whole story but leaves out the devils and the cockroaches. 1d

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent 32-33: hmmm keeping secrets is never a good thing. Why is Emma so nervous about everyone knowing? Oh I‘m so glad things got cleared up with Nadine! That was a frustrating scene haha! Things are looking up. But wait…there‘s still the matter of them actually TalkIng and defining their relationship. And telling their family…this Sunday dinner is gonna be one for the books.

CatLass007 I didn‘t expect this book to be quite so spicy. But it‘s good. 2d
mcctrish @CatLass007 me either ( truthfully I found it fun and refreshing and then it feels like it goes formulaic romance for the last couple of chapters ) 2d

CatLass007 @mcctrish I liked the final chapters because of the way Emma grows and becomes stronger. 2d
julieclair I agree that keeping secrets is never a good idea. And I don‘t understand why Emma insists on doing so. 2d
willaful @mcctrish I felt the same. I skipped through most of the spice because it felt so old hat. 2d
mcctrish @willaful it could have been been done better for sure 2d

#Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent 30-31: Well, even though I‘m sure a complicated conversation needs to be had, I‘m glad they finally admitted that they want each other. There were no declarations of love - yet. I‘m sure those are forthcoming. Things are going to change now no matter what.

CatLass007 I love your use of animals (and everything else) in your posts.🐶😹 3d
